About GHRI Ratings

X

Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.

Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.

Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.

Pros

Brewed coffee is very hot

Kept coffee warm for two hours in our test

Controls are easy to use

Shuts off automatically

Cons

Doesnt brew at an optimal temperature for producing good-tasting coffee

Must be pulled out from under cabinets to fill with ground coffee

Brew up to 12 cups of coffee without a carafe in the Hamilton Beach BrewStation Coffeemaker with Flavor Dispenser.

Brew up to 12 cups of coffee without a carafe in the Hamilton Beach BrewStation Coffeemaker with Flavor Dispenser. Coffee brews in an insulated tank and you can then pour it into the cup or mug of your choice. Our taste testers found coffee from this brewer was better than average. The heater inside the tank keeps your coffee hot for up to two hours. As an added bonus, a detachable syrup pump lets you add your favorite syrup for a touch of flavor. One of our only gripes is that adding coffee to the filter basket can be tricky, as you will need to move the coffeemaker out from under overhead cabinets to access it.
